jazzy_daveI have a feeling that my bro will want to pick my brains on aspects of cosmology today. He has been trudging through the Stephen Hawkings book, A Brief History Of Time. In particular is the slippery subject of the Uncertainty Principle, and that includes the thought experiments of Erwin Schrodinger's Cat in a Box , and the opposing Copenhagen interpretation vs. The Many Worlds interpretation of quantum theory.
(Note - the Copenhagen interpretation is the one in which all particles are in a state of quantum flux, known as a superposition state, until the observation of ithis flux forces it to collapse to one state.)
The other areas he will want too idscuss will be black holes, and the backbone to all quantum physics, Planck's Consatnt , which is defined as about 6.62606×10−34 joule sec.
(Extra note - i wish there was devices to plug into our brains to make us instant experts lol)
